Benching by Jim Henderson

One of the best (he has never used a bench shirt). He's the only man who has ever raw benched over 700lbs (he did 715lbs I think).

BTW, the watch adds another 50 pounds to the bench total j/k

Scott Medelson, according to youtube, holds the world record for raw benching at 715lbs.

But the video you posted is most impressive because he doesn't seem 'amped' up.. very relaxed and calm. He also doesn't even have confidence in his spotters so he is not really testing himself, just at the gym making a video. Very impressive.

Thanks, I like his comment about "no drugs" and just taking your time.

And according to benchpress.net too I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting me know!

These guys just keep getting stronger and stronger!

I know what you mean that they keep getting stronger... if you want to see just pure unbelievable benching - go on youtube and search 'another day in the gym' -- it's by elitefts.com... they show all routines of bench, squat, and deads... truly pure strength there.

I know. Truly motivational stuff.

elitefts has insane athletes. If I was a quarter as good as some of them, I'd be awesome Needless to say, I'm not that awesome
